A former Boro manager is in trouble this week after being at the centre of an international incident.
Richard Hill, who left the Broadhall Way hotseat in March 2000, has been suspended by Championship side QPR from his role as assistant manager "until further notice".
It follows the brawl during a training match against China's Olympic team last week which made the national headlines.
China player Zheng Tao suffered a broken jaw during the incident at QPR's training ground last Wednesday.
The FA is also investigating and is "in ongoing communication with the police".
QPR chairman Gianni Paladini has hinted that he could sack some of the players involved in the fight.
